Hi Mike, This new table of contents looks fine to me. My only remark is that the chapter "Why Agile Planning Works" is a bit at the back of the book. In case...
Thanks for your comments, Sven. Would it be better if I moved "Why Agile Planning Works" up to be after Chapter 10, closing out the "Digging Deeper" section?...
... For a book entitled "Agile Estimating and Planning" the chapter "Why Agile Planning Works" seems like a good candidate for a concluding chapter to me. ...
Hello everyone, I have been a lurker on here for awhile now, but wanted to provide some input to Mike for the estimating book. I am still working my way...
Hi Mike, I like "Why Agile Planning Works" where you have it. Part 3 feels like the end of the main body of the book, with this chapter as the conclusion....

Hmm, good point. I'll think about putting it as an appendix. I was going to move one part of the advanced chapter into the main economics chapter and that may...

After thinking about this I don't think it at all appropriate to have a chapter on "Daily Standups" in a book on planning. Of course, I'm a product manager...
John- You're absolutely right that much of what makes agile plans work is that they support and encourage course correcting. I do plan to incorporate more on...
Hello- In the earliest TOC for the book I did not include a chapter on real-time estimating. Some feedback I got said "You can't do an estimating book without...
Hi Mike, Gosh, I guess I don't understand real time estimating, but then I've never done it. If you said 1 day and there was a company meeting on Tuesday plus...
Hi Lisa- What you describe is really ideal time ("My 1 day estimate will be done in two days because I'm in a meeting all day tomorrow"). That example though ...
Mike, QUESTION #1: I dislike using real-time for Agile estimation because it seems to: 1) foster an attitude of resignation and acceptance (of existing ...
Mike. I agree with Kert, a chapter seems too much on estimating with real time. Perhaps you should mention in a sidebar that Kent advocates it in XPE2 (maybe...
Thanks, Kert. I appreciate your comments. I'd thought of possibly covering real-time estimating as a sidebar in the ideal time chapter. So, maybe based on the...
